Spoiler: The Canadian kitten (click to show/hide)

You push open the door of the laundromat and step inside. The two office workers in the corner don't even get up when the door slams behind you, but glance over with calculated disinterest as they keep their hands concealed beneath the table. A barrel-chested brute steps out in front of them, and for a moment you are deafened by the revving of his chainsaw. He's wearing a white button-up like the rest of them, but this one seems at least three sizes too small. When the chainsaw subsides, you hear a quieter growl coming from another corner to the room. The last enemy isn't even a person at all, but a rabid and wild-eyed dog, mouth caked with blood. You take in a deep breath of fresh air and tastefully scented detergents, then get to work.

You jump off of the counter and onto the broken glass beneath. The white-collared goons don't look too happy about it, but if they didn't want you coming into their laundromat they should have covered up the windows. The two of them advance on you, each with identical scowls and ripped-open button-downs. Only their weapon of choice lets you tell them apart: one has a shovel, and the other carries a chainsaw. Behind the latter you can just barely see a final unconvincing office employee, his own weapon concealed beneath the tabletop. If he's noticed you, he hasn't made a point of showing it, but you doubt he'll be staying out of the fight for long. Brushing the last couple shards from off your sleeve, you ready yourself to take these guys head-on.

You strap your gloves on and flick on the light switch. The halogens crackle to life, and standing there before you are the strangest group of office employees you've ever seen. The closest one - a mean-looking gorilla of a man - lets out a grunt when he sees you and holds up his chainsaw menacingly. Far off to his right, a mercenary-looking bloke with a cleaver in one hand and 10-pound extinguisher in the other gives you a death glare from across the room. His "Hello my name is" sticker has been obscured with blood, and his sleeves have been ripped to the shoulders. In the very back, the final employee hasn't even seemed to notice you. Instead, he nervously taps a machete against the edge of the counter while jerking his head around mechanically. Satisfied by what you see, your eyes settle on the first target and you begin.

The laundromat looks completely empty when you come inside, but once you round the corner you come face-to-face with pair of wild-eyed white collar workers. The one on the left looks like he could pick you up without breaking a sweat, although he's currently busied himself by brandishing a hefty-looking shovel. The other one is merely the size of a normal human being, but makes up for it by holding two weapons instead: a cleaver in his left and a fire extinguisher in his right. Behind the big guy you finally notice a third contender. It's a rabid dog, of all things, but beneath the layers of matted fur you think you can make out a pair of beady eyes glowing with a singular, bloodthirsty purpose. You're not afraid - yours do that, too. Without a second thought you launch into motion.

narration phase

[russian accent]"oh please, this is all I get? disappointing. let's show them who's boss, Mister Bonk."
ER closes the distance to the first goon in two steps and immediately smashes him in the side of the head with "Mister Bonk", his metal bat. If that fails, of course, He hits the goon again. And if that fails, he hits the goon a third time, but harder.
That done and without missing a beat he pulls a pool cue out from his sleeve and smashes it over the office employee's head, splintering the wooden rod. Almost. He hits the employee again, this time with just enough force to snap the pool cue in half. Having created a serviceable stake, he rushes down the chainsaw-wielding goon and jams the cue through the man's eye.

[The Canadian kitten]

I shall first sprint towards the dog and attack using my cleaver. (swing 1d6)  Then, run back and attack the big goon once. (Swing 1d8) Then, I shall kill causal 1 with (swing 1d6). Wait, is the l thing in the attack sequence showing that it is separate from the other attack sequence?

That song has good vibes.
By the way, you don't have to provide those if statements in the future - just describe the attacks you do, and you'll skip the rest of those attacks automatically once they die.

I shall first sprint towards the dog and attack then run back and attack the big goon twice. Then, I shall kill causal 1 and attack number 2 and then throw it at number 2's face.

Tell me what sequences you're using, and/or the attack types, please.

I forgot to write the Tempo that each enemy has, so I'll add that right now. Give it a look in case it changes your action.

[Egan_BW]

The If statement is because the last hit of the metal bat only happens if the first two miss.

[Tomasque]

You don't even have to mention that one - I'll add it in if the other two fail.

[Egan_BW]

Yes, but you called this phase narrative phase, so I'm going to describe things as flavorful as possible rather than listing out attacks and their targets.

[King Zultan]

I quickly run and jump up onto the laundry machines, run along them until I'm next to the goon, and jump onto him and chop at his head with the hatchet, then when he goes down I throw the hatchet at the dog, grab the dead goon's shovel and run round the corner with it and stab the Berserker with it.


(What program did you use to make the laundromat?)

(What program did you use to make the laundromat?)

I didn't make it, I just found it by looking up "laundromat layout". I think it's made in SketchUp, though.

[syvarris]

"Yeeehahahaha!  Excitement!  Danger!  STRIFE!  Die."

Charge into goon 1 in a frenzy, punching his throat and crushing his windpipe (thrust 1d4).  Then rush past him and leap over the counter, and dive into the spastic, repeating the same attack before bashing his head repeatedly, laughing maniacally the whole while (thrust 1d4, swing 1d6+1).

Then snap the pushbroom, and throw it at the berserker--or if it can't be thrown, snap it and charge him, impaling him to the shelving behind him.

[Tomasque]

I've put this off for long enough. I'll just assumed Kitten uses the Cleaver's 1st and 2nd sequences.

You rush down the hound as it bares its teeth. A single strike severs its head from its body, and without breaking stride you double back towards the goon. However, you underestimate the strength and power of both him and his weapon, barely dodging as the cut takes off a piece of your hair (-9 Nerve). As he goes back for another swing, you step in and make sure he won't get that chance. You leave him on the floor, and approach the two seated at the table. The second one watches impassively as the first gets up from his chair, revealing a razorwire glove on each hand. You both take a swing. Wires cut your skin as the cleaver gets entangled in the gloves, and you are forced to step back while your weapon clatters to the floor (-5 Nerve). The seated employee's death, however, is not prevented. Before he even has a chance to stand up, he falls down dead, and rapidly fades away before your eyes. Someone else's kill.

Kills: Rabid Dog, Goon 1

You step up to the goon and take a swing. Before your hit can even connect, the man falls dead on the ground and disappears - it looks like someone else got him first. Unperturbed, you pull out the pool cue instead and take bring it down on top of the seated employee's head. He hardly has the time to pull out the fire axe before he's laying face down on the table, blood splattered over the chair. With only the shattered handle left, you turn toward the chain-saw wielder and... he is gone. He has been claimed already.

Then snap the pushbroom, and throw it at the berserker--or if it can't be thrown, snap it and charge him, impaling him to the shelving behind him.

The sudden strike takes the goon by surprise, and he collapses to the ground, clutching his throat. You then make a mad dash for the spastic employee, but as you close in, he takes a swing at you with the machete (-6 Nerve)! No matter; you duck beneath his clumsy swing and deliver a solid strike to to his head, cracking his skull against the wall. You break off the end of your broom in expectation, but the berserker has already been killed, and his body fades away before you can throw. You look around to find that you are all alone now. The goon has disappeared - was he not you kill?

You sprint along the machines with grim determination, and leap at your target with your hatchet in both hands. His head splits down the middle,and you kick him away to dislodge your weapon from the wound. You ready to throw it at the dog, but you find that you have already missed your chance: it has already been slain, leaving behind nothing for you - even the pool of blood has disappeared. You shrug and pick up the shovel from the still-warm grip of the goon. The berserker  holds up his weapons as you approach, but they prove inadequate against a single well-aimed stab. Taking a final look around, you find no one else here. It is over, then.

Kills: Goon 2, Berserker

That'll be it for this fight, I think. There were some hidden enemies (each person but Kitten had one), but I don't think its worth it to continue this fight even so. I have a fairly big workload right now, but I'll try to set up a new match soon.

In the meantime, give me some input, if you have any. I'd be happy to change the second fight to fit your ideas - it's a playtest, after all.
